Rhode Island Department of Education Lesson Plan Lesson Title: Strength of Covalent Bonds State Standards:(GLEs/GSEs) GSE - PS1 (9-11) - 4 National Standards: Context of Lesson: This lesson is after the class has learned about the different types of covalent bonds: single, double, triple, and coordinate covalent. This class will focus on how the students can figure out which types of bonds are stronger than others. In this class the students will be doing an in-class activity/lab called strength of covalent bonds. Opportunities to Learn: Depth of Knowledge: Prerequisite Knowledge: Plans for Differentiating Instruction: Accommodations and modifications: Environmental factors: Materials:
Objectives:
When given 3 compounds the students will be able to list them in order of increasing bond strength.
Instruction: Opening:
Collect the homework
Ask if the students have any questions.
Explain the classroom activity/lab.
Engagement:
We’ve learned about different types of covalent bonds: single, double, triple, coordinate covalent. Do we know anything about the strength of bonds or have any ideas.
Classroom activity/lab (strength of covalent bonds) using rubber bands.
One rubber band for each bond.
The more rubber bands the harder it is to stretch/break; its the same with bonds.
Why does this matter?
Melting points, boiling points, etc.
Can you predict which compound will have a higher or lower melting or boiling point.
Closure:
Clean up and collect the materials from the lab.
Ask if the students have any questions about the lab.
Tell the students what to expect in the next class: bond dissociation energies and resonance.
Assessment: The assessment will be an in-class activity/lab that will be due in the beginning of class #6. Reflections: (only done after lesson is enacted) Student Work Sample 1 – Approaching Proficiency: Student Work Sample 2 – Proficient: Student Work Sample 3 – Exceeds Proficiency:
